Step 3: Sliding

Comments

This did not work for me ? Maybe I did not cut enough of the ends off, but I had to do more than slide it out. After 5 minutes, in my usually too fast microwave, it was still not cooked enough. I will try again!

Ok.. I tried the corn thing but on the grill. I left the corn in its husk, submerged it in water to soak for about 5 minutes.. Then I put on the grill. When it was done, I cut of an inch of the big end and it came out nice and clean. Hot, so don't burn your fingers and it is soooo good. If you like it steamed this is the same.

Got so mad at my plastic wrap that I threw it out. I then bought corn on the cob and forgot I had no wrap to put the cobs in for the microwave. I remembered this post and tried it. To my surprise it not only worked, it was wonderful. Just squeezed out the corn and it came out of the husk clean and no silk! I have since bought a new box of plastic wrap but am hooked on the husk method. I would recommend a very sharp knife to cut off the end of the corn. It's a little tough to cut through so be careful!

Thanks for the time for more than one ear. I was wondering about that. It would take a long time to make corn on the cob for a family of 4 one ear at a time! lol I had to use tongs to help pull the corn out but it definitely works!!! yayayayay

Fabulous idea, I'd never thought about cutting off the bottom end. However, even if you don't cut the stem end off, and peel the husk back to use as a handle, the silks come off far more easily after the corn is cooked. And yes, it works on the grill, too. i USUALLY SOAK THE CORN IN SALTED WATER BEFORE I PUT IT ON THE GRILL, AND BRING THE POT OF SALTED WATER OUT WITH ME AND DUNK uh oh, sorry about the caps lock- the corn back in the salted water a couple of times while it's cooking. It takes longer that way, but I think it's worth it.

Cooking the corn, in the husk, in the microwave, is steaming it. That is how microwaves work. They excite the water molecules. The water becomes steam. The husk traps the steam inside. Viola, steamed corn.
